RE: Harpie on thicker reedplates=louder?

CXfried writes a dissertation on the theoretical and experimental effects of
thicker reedplates:

And a cool, refreshing breeze blows fresh air against the din of mediocre
and wasteful posts!

I can understand why Seigfried and other long-time harp-l'ers cut back their
highly valued presence to near nothing.  The dismal quality of certain
recent threads must disgust all but the most ardent list members.

I for one am joyful that Seigfied has taken the time to enlighten us with
his experience with and knowledge about thicker reedplates.

A hearty welcome back, CXfried, and please don't let the lows to which
harp-l sometimes stoops or the "oh that again" posts we see much of these
days keep you and Harpie from joining us more often!

Thanks,

Michelle
